We were excited to see a familar face featured in the news this week. Bruno Debattista, who will be joining Year 7 at d'Overbroeck's Leckford Place in September, recently came across an amazing piece of history whilst on holiday in Cornwall.
Bruno, who is currently a pupil at Windmill Primary School in Headington, discovered a piece of shale containing what he thought might be a fossilised footprint. He shared this with the after-school club at Oxford University's Museum of Natural History and his hunch proved correct. Museum experts have confirmed that Bruno's shale appears to show footprints left by a horseshoe crab 320 million years ago!
The story has been featured in both the local and national press this week - here's a link to an article from the Daily Mail: http://bit.ly/ZgYJjT
We look forward to welcoming Bruno joining d'Overbroeck's in September, along with his keen eye for history!
